Aerostar 4X4

Drivers side is done.

I need to do some fender trimming. Didn't Ford know I need room for 35" tires? RB

ya know the closer it gets to being done the more ya want it done LOL!! I'm lookin forward to comin up and checking this beast out!

Front end is done. So I wanted to know if the exhaust and drive shaft will want to occupy the same space so---------------------------------------------

I had to stop because the rear wheel was up against the body. The rear definitely flexes more than the front but I knew this would be the case as my 75 Bronco is the same way. It's going on the trailer tomorrow night ( If it fit's) and headed to get a front bumper. RB

I talked my wife into the drivers seat (She's less than a month from delivering twins: God bless her heart) so I could finish bleeding the brakes. She says she's not driving it because it gives her a nose bleed. LOL I didn't figure she'd help me. Usually I get my 7 year old daughter to help me (Money usually helps) but she's in bed. RB

When I take it for exhaust should I just run straight pipe or should I put a muffler under there? RB

I've never owned a rig that was "DONE" so whenever it's done enough for you. You can come up whenever but I'd prefer it was at least 2 weeks after the twins are born and I'm guessing they will arrive some time in late Feb. I just wont be getting out much then. RB

while if you can get away with it (inspections and neighbors) I say straight pipe it.

I don't have inspections or neighbors, so neither are a problem. RB

I decided to hang the radiator and drive it on the trailer. Good thing too cuz I need to move the radiator towards the passengers side as much as possible as the lower radiator hose is right on the power steering box. So the bumper will need some adjusting. I really need to find someone who can tell me what two wires need jumping so i can start it with the key. Darn neutral safety switch. The is one plug with 3 wires and one with like 6. ????????????????? The shifter is too far back too. I'm going to do some bending. I was able to drive it out without changing tires so that was nice. I think I had a 1/2 inch to spare.
